Real Talk Tuesdays: Brian Regan

I have an incredible amount of respect for comedians. They have a tough job. Telling a joke is all about delivery and timing. Try stringing together an hour worth of jokes. Now try making a living on that. I recently heard an interview with comedian Brian Regan and the host pointed out that Regan is considered a "clean" comic. He's not churchy or a prude, he just choses to work clean - which in my opinion makes the job all the more difficult. Imagine filling an hour without stooping to low-brow sexual humor or swearing. Yet he does it with razor sharp timing and some outlandish physical posturing.  Real talk? That's pretty impressive.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Aziz Ansari

Earlier this year, Louis C.K. changed the stand-up game forever when he offered his latest live concert for only $5 on his website. Pastey funnyman Jim Gaffigan is following that trend as well as Aziz Ansari. It's a great model and I hope it continues. If comics can front the production costs and they trust their fanbase to be down, then it's a win-win. Dig.

 

Madhouse Mondays: Louis C.K.

Louis C.K. is one of my favorite comedians, his FX show, Louie, will began airing new episodes next month.   I think it's the best show on televsion (rivaled only by Parks & Recreation).  Here he is....telling it like it is.

 

'Cause nobody needs a whole croissant!

Reggie Watts.  Ya heard?

We saw this cat open for Conan last year.  Some of you are already aware - those that aren't, take a peek.  I usually hate when music and comedy come together but Reggie has chops beyond chops.  Dig it.
